How to use formation in a sentence?
It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.
To understand the formation and evolution of our world as well as those in the inner solar system, we need to understand the timing of major events during the planet-formation era.
The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.
Most objects that we know of interact with the planets in some way so the orbits have been disturbed over the past few billion years, whereas this object is so distant that it may not have been disturbed by planets. So its orbit is a pristine orbit from the formation of the original solar system. If we can get its orbit and understand how it formed and how it got there, it will tell us a lot about the formation of our solar system.
In later life, as in earlier, only a few persons influence the formation of our character the multitude pass us by like a distant army.
